They still had Martians on the mind back them. I find current general disinterest in aliens—*and* the dominance of the "Ancient Alien" wing—supremely telling of a shift in the contemporary imagination.
Yes and no. Perhaps new elementary experience (erleb) but not a new Welt. The latter is entirely inferentially structured like a new web and to structure that you don't only need new sensations but also concept to organize and make sense of those primitive sensations.

Ex. when a red dot is registered on your retina, it doesn't tell you anything about itself, to say otherwise it's just the myth of categorial given (Sellars). You need to have the concept of red to plug that new sensation in. For X to be read, it means it's not white or blue.

Yes but these sets of relations cannot be put inside an absolute container (welt). they are the welt. there must occur a sensory-register for them to even produce a shade-concept. so, when you require a new organ, the milieu changes into something witing to become-world.
